April 4 and 6 are revisit days for newly admitted students. Here's what will happen. First, at breakfast, we introduce them to current students, who take them off to classes.
Visitors gain an appreciation for the many modes of transportation on campus.
Class begins. This is a ninth grade English section.
Meanwhile, parents attend a special panel Q & A session. The panel is comprised of administrators and current parents. Some questions focus on the most sensitive matters of teen culture: alcohol, drugs, sex. The panel's responses are straightforward and honest. Comments and observations from current parents are powerful!
At lunch, visitors sit with new friends.
After lunch, an activity fair enables visitors to interview students and teachers involved in specific programs (Mountain Classroom, Ocean Classroom, programs abroad) and teams. Varsity girls soccer players are present to support coach Karl Methven.
Following the activities fair, most visitors depart, knowing Proctor about as well as we can hope. Some hang around to check out a lacrosse game.
On Friday, we'll do it again!
